Special guest (private investigator) Broc Terrano was kind enough to join us for this discussion of karate...and midget fetishes.

In honor of Monday's total eclipse of the sun we bring you the following: * An incompetent borderline human trafficked horticulturalist orphan * A sadistic dentist with a penchant for domestic abuse * Murder....& * A mean green mother from outer space https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWu1Q16AV5U It's Little Shop of Horrors, and the gang -Steve Martin, Bill Murray, John Candy, and Rick Moranis- is all here....down on skid row. Share & Enjoy

Well, I'd say we have a bit of a difference of opinion here... Join us as we discuss the critical flop The Dark Tower.

Please enjoy this interview with David Tribble, as he walks us through the end of the 70's live music scene, the dawn of the comedy road gig, and "the boom" (as it was called) of the 1980s, the and the bust of the early 90's. An insightful and honest collection of genuine insights about things like small town prejudices -both racial and sexist- the evolution of comedy as craft over the last 30 years; where it's been and where it's going.

Our top-notch research department has uncovered the truth behind Cool Runnings. These guys were apparently all on the Jamaican Air Force running team, and then something to do with John Candy happened.

John Cusack, Samuel L. Jackson, Mary McCormack, Tony Shalhoub, Len Cariou, Isiah Whitlock, Jr., and Jasmine Jessica Anthony team up to present Rusty's least favorite type of film, the undeniably good 1408 Have a listen as we run down this better than the source material Stephen King adaptation.

We've got a strong difference of opinion here...also, skating.

A young Russell Crowe, an even younger Leonardo DiCaprio, and Sharon Stone face off against Gene Hackman, who we theorize was born 56 years old and terrifying looking, on the set of a western. Join us as we chat about this love letter to the westerns genre, and the quick draw competition. Oh, by the way, Rusty hates westerns. (Closing you self off to certain experiences for reasons your can't explain is a completely irrational way to go through life...)

Here at Rated80s we are always under pretty severe time constraints. Knowing this, every third episode or so Rusty requests to do the intro drop...which always goes something like this.

In this episode we absolutely do not talk about the very underrated film Death To Smoochie.

Join us as we discuss how this movie is a coded message about how Stanley Kubrik used the federal reserve move away from the gold standard to force Native Americans to fake the moon landing on a sound stage that Steven King hates intensely for not being true to the source material...allegedly.

Join us and special guest Zoe Monster as we look at a tale of prejudice, classicism, and conspiracy in Zootopia. We are also joined by a super secret mystery guest in the last segment of the show. Zoe's art can be located at DeviantArt, where you can also commission a piece if you do so please. As usual, there are too many topics under discussion in this episode for all of them to get a mention. That said this is an exceptional episode with two great special guests, and it goes into extra-innings.

Join us as we take a look at this charming story of sex addiction, panic attacks, kidnapping, child abuse, race relations, adultery, divorce, domestic violence, and blue music...all of which (somehow) adds up to one of the most unique films of the new millennium. You'll probably want to not listen to this episode at the office without headphones...unless you need to cure your co-workers of their wickedness.

Listen, if we are going to be a couple, then you have to watch The Wire! Oh, sorry, wrong thread. First though Jeremy has some new rules for film podcasting in general, having had a meeting with the Stone Cutters earlier in the week, and a new rule has come to light.

WARNING: The following program is Rated80s and may not be be suitable for all audiences. It will contain pornography, alien abduction, and vehicular homicide. Listener discretion is advised... Our episode this episode is the 1984 hero's journey tale The Last Star Fighter.

Hey kids, this ain't no Afghanistanimation! It's Akira! Biker gangs, juvenile delinquents, reform school, high school sweethearts, psychics with progeria, people exploding...it's all here! So, Whitman was skeptical of Rusty's claim during the podcast of a historical black Samurai...but he's real! He was from Mozabique and his name was Yasuke!

This week we review the not so high hopes society had for Generation X as we look at Class of 1999, one of the oh so many Terminator ripoffs that were a common occurrence until Hollywood figured out the best way to ripoff the Terminator franchise was just to make an endless series of sub par Terminator films, with an ever more confusing timeline. Terminator-teachers, murder, gangs of toughs, gun battles...pretty much everything expected out of the forgotten generation of Pre-Millennials.

We get down with our now annual Star Wars review...and then, like every other conversation we've had this year...after the first hour degrades into a confused musing on the current unrecognizable political landscape of American at the moment. So, um, spoiler warning on that...if that's not your thing you might want to jump ship at the break. Cheers.

Join us as we compare the 2012 action masterpiece Dredd 3d to that unfortunate thing that happened in the 90s. Good action is hard to find these days, but the latest venture into Dredd territory has got you covered. Strap in for this one, 80s style violence presented with masterfully crafted modern effects work.

The Battleship of It's day, join us for our discussion for one of the worst ideas of a movie created from an existing property ever, the Garbage Pail Kids! This is another "Forced Exposition" episode, as Jeremy runs Rusty through the entire, confusing, poorly thought out, misguided, pointless plot of The Garbage Pail Kids, which is widely regarded as one of the worst movies of all times.
